Agree (although I accidentally down-modded you). There are many ways to measure quality, and timeliness of availability is certainly one. For a kid in a dorm room who just wants a particle board bookshelf, waiting two months would be absurd. However, I wanted some nice oak bookshelves for my office, and I wouldn't mind waiting a couple of months if they were otherwise what I desired.
- dan_the_welder 17y agoRight with you on the custom furniture thing. Most skilled crafts-people are booked for months ahead. The ones that I know don't want to scale because then they would not be making furniture, they would be running a business. Interestingly, a furniture 'startup' is frequently a vehicle for one person to make a living doing what they love. Often after years of working as a professional in another field making money for the family, building a nest egg, tooling up, honing their skills and trying to develop a reputation and market.
